Know before you buy
Matched Propagation technology is designed to match the signal propagation speed of the conductor to the dielectric, which minimizes signal degradation and timing errors. This results in a more accurate, neutral, and detailed digital signal transfer.
This specific cable is terminated with BNC connectors. If your equipment uses RCA digital inputs, you will need a high-quality BNC-to-RCA adapter to ensure a proper connection.
Thanks to the advanced geometry and high-purity oxygen-free copper conductors, this cable is engineered to maintain signal integrity even at this length. It is designed to perform consistently without the jitter or data loss often associated with longer digital runs.
The Clear Coaxial cable is designed for high-end digital audio systems where transparency and detail are the priority. It performs best when connecting high-resolution transports, DACs, or digital processors that require a precise 75-ohm impedance.
Despite its robust construction and 8.89mm diameter, the cable uses a soft TPR jacket that provides a good balance of durability and flexibility. It is designed to be manageable when routing through tight spaces or around equipment racks.
A strict 75-ohm impedance is the industry standard for S/PDIF digital audio signals. Maintaining this exact impedance throughout the cable prevents signal reflections, which can cause jitter and negatively impact the sound quality of your digital playback.
